She’s Home
I admit I was a little surprised when I heard from my son today and he told me that his wife and new baby were going to be released from the hospital. Both of them received a clean bill of health. I guess the doctors and nurses were even surprised that the little one was […]
Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby
I started this morning by taking my son’s dog for a little hike in a nearby forested park. It was peaceful, cool, and energizing – a great way to start the day. I talked with son and his wife on and off during the day. They sent a picture of the new baby wearing a […]
Safe Delivery
Last night I went over to my son’s house. It was the day that my daughter in law’s doctor scheduled to induce labor, 2 weeks early from the due date. They had been doing ultrasounds on the baby for a couple of months and concerned that she was so small. Everything looked ok, but they […]
Family Weekend
The past couple of days have been full and fun. My nephew and his wife came for a visit, so they and my sister stayed at my house over the weekend. On Saturday, we all went to dinner along with my brother, my son, and his very pregnant wife. We went to our favorite German […]
Dad’s Craftsmanship
My ongoing project is to sell and donate items from my parents estate. I have had a pair of speakers that my dad made up for sale for several weeks now. Today the right buyer contacted me. My brother loaded up the speakers in my car and we met the man and his girlfriend. The […]
Such Strength
I have had a particular friend on my mind recently. Last I talked to her she was in the hospital and I wondered how she was doing. So, I gave her a call today. I was happy to hear that she was back at home recovering. She said she was a little frustrated as it […]
Living His Dream
My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]
Swoop
My neighbor invited us over to play cards tonight and my brother and I were happy to join in. Her brother and his wife were visiting, so with her husband there were 6 of us. We learned a new game called swoop. It wasn’t too difficult, but still required an amount of strategy. I had […]
Getting Bigger
My son and daughter in law have been going to the doctor twice a week to have ultrasound checks on their baby. She has been very tiny for a long time and the doctor doesn’t really know why. She was in the 1 percentile for size, which is why they started monitoring her so often. […]
Leaking Windows
I was at an elderly couple’s house today helping them out when a thunderstorm rolled through. It has been such a long time since they have had any rain in their area, and we were wondering if it would actually happen. We could see the dark clouds coming closer and closer and hear the thunder […]
